items I visited Denver in the winter and it was so beautiful to see! There was so much to do around the area and all were relatively close to each other! We had a mix of big city and outdoor activities.

We noticed there were a ton of central markets and had to visit a bunch of them. We didn’t get anything but this was definitely a cute place to visit!

This is the central market where they have some deli and dairy products you can purchase. They have restaurants all around the street. There’s ton of street parking here too.
The Denver Central Market
Since we went in December, the Christmas market was open around this time. They have some food stalls and souvenirs you can buy. I love getting the souvenir Christmas mugs at these markets.

We went here to grab some breakfast and coffee. Such a cute hole in the wall cafe!
Wooden Spoon Cafe & Bakery
Since we flew into Denver we had the chance to visit the Capital One Lounge. I highly recommend if you’re a member. This lounge has a ton of seats and food options. You can even get Togo bags on the way out.

Hotel
We stayed at an apartment/hotel while we were in Denver. This place was fully furnished along with a washer and dryer. They had a cute patio set up where you can grill and hold a campfire. If I’m ever back in Denver, I would stay at this place again!

Rocky Mountain National Park
This was a place we accidentally stopped by and glad we got to visit. Union stations have so much history and the architecture was beautiful. They have such cute shops and restaurants inside too. I’ll have to take the train one day and stop by here.

Since we were close to the area, we stopped by Garden of the Gods. This was so cool to see and there are a few trails but the rock formations were so cool to see. Can drive through this area and it’s completely free!

We got this from the Denver website and glad we found this! You take a train all the way up the mountain at its highest peak. The views were stunning and we had a hilarious train conductor who talked his way through the ride. It was a wonderful exper...
The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway
Since we finished the Rocky Mountains a little early, we stopped by Estes Park which was the village right outside of the area. We found an escape room we got to book last minute. We did Gates of Atlantis which we escaped with only a few minutes of t...
